FLVS Students Outperform State Average In AP Courses

Despite late claims that online and blended learning students are underperforming, Florida Virtual School® (FLVS) students are excelling at meeting global expectations in learning. FLVS announced today that students enrolled in its 15 Advanced Placement® (AP) courses outperformed Florida state averages by 12 percent, equal to global averages.

The table above demonstrates how FLVS students are outperforming state averages in the majority of courses available to students. FLVS also reports the follow results from the 2010-2011 school year:

88 percent of FLVS AP enrolled students took the AP Exam in their respective courses

58 percent qualified with a score of 3, 4 or 5

FLVS students were above the state qualifying AP averages in 11 of 15 courses

FLVS students were above the global qualifying AP averages in six of the courses

AP Environmental Science, in its first year at FLVS, surpassed the state qualifying average by 20 percent and the global average by 9 percent

I am not at all surprised, FLVS offers students the chance to actually LEARN the course material, allowing them mastery of subject matter. I have had a total of six children in FLVS, I think it is the best approach to education currently available in this country, and the teachers are definitely the best in their fields, encouraging, they give constant feedback and are always available for help, for each child it is like having a whole school system all to themselves.

IM VERY PROUD TO MY KIDS PARTICIPATE AND LIKE TO BE ENROLL IN THIS SYSTEM. DAY BY DAY MANY NEW THINGS THAT IS INCREDIBLE HOW THEY LERAN MUCH MORE THAN BE IN A FULL DAY IN SCHOOL AND ACELERATE THE LEVEL AND THE ENTHUSIASM FOR STUDY.
I WISH MANY MORE PEOPLE CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO TRY THIS AREA .

Is there a way we can see actual numbers for the courses? Such as if AP Spanish got 95% pass rate how many students took that course? How many students took the AP Spanish Test vs. how many took that class? My Spanish III teacher is skeptical of this 95% pass rate and we would like to see the “real” data (ie. #of students that took the course).

Hi Ms. Cargill,
I was very interested in taking AP Spanish Language; however, when it says that 46% of the students were minority students, do you know how many minority students/ native-speakers took the AP Spanish Language Class?
